Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

Numerous Bulbasaur gathered at the new Pokémon Gym under construction in Vermilion City and climbed to the rooftop to bask in the sunlight.

To prepare for future evolution.

Seeing so many Bulbasaur about to evolve, Ash couldn't help but recall what happened back then.

"...Back then, I also saw many Bulbasaur evolve together on my travels."

"The place we went to was called the Incredible Garden!"

"My Bulbasaur was supposed to evolve there, but it resisted!"

He believes that even without evolving, he can still possess great power, so he remains in the form of Bulbasaur!

Xiaochun was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"Huh? Don't Pokémon only become stronger after evolving? Is it really okay if they don't evolve?"

"It's okay! I respect my Pokémon's wishes! It's not just Bulbasaur, many of my friends don't want to evolve! But... Bulbasaur is very strong!"

"Now he manages Professor Oak's backyard perfectly! Even Charizard has to watch his face when it comes to the backyard!"

……

Professor Oak's Post-Grandmaster Garden:

Bulbasaur heard Ash's words in the video, and its eyes sparkled.

Wow, he's so strong now!

Even the eldest brother, Charizard, has to listen to him in the backyard!

This solidified his belief in not evolving!

Sure enough, even without evolving, one can still gain immense power!

What's so good about evolution...? They end up ugly as adults.

But then again, managing the backyard... will he be in charge of logistics for Ash in the future?

It seems...not bad at all!

……

In the video—

Xiaozhi is telling Xiaochun about his past travel experiences.

After all, he's someone who's been to seven different regions!

Xiao Zhi's experiences are probably unparalleled in the world!

Suddenly, all the Bulbasaur started glowing!

This is a sign that evolution is about to begin!

Just as Ash was watching Bulbasaur evolve with great interest, a large net captured all of them!

Xiao Zhi glanced up at the sky, and sure enough... it was that familiar hot air balloon again...

"Who would do something so outrageous!"

Xiaochun said indignantly to the sky above the hot air balloon!

My Venusaur is almost ready to evolve, who suddenly cast the net?

"Since you asked the question sincerely!"

"Then we will tell you with great mercy!"

"..."

A classic line rang out, and the long-absent Team Rocket trio appeared before Ash!

"We meet again, you little rascal!"

"You guys are really persistent!"

Ash felt like something was missing lately, and it turned out that the trio who had always been by his side were gone.

I saw them again.

While I was furious at them for capturing Pokémon indiscriminately, I also felt that familiar feeling return!

"Huh? Is this someone Ash knows?"

"Yeah! An old acquaintance, someone who's always thinking about capturing my Pikachu! Pikachu, use Iron Tail!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu took a leap, soaring into the air, its tail gleaming with a metallic sheen.

It cleaved the huge capture net in two.

All the Bulbasaur were safely rescued.

Seeing that Bulbasaur had been rescued, Team Rocket and the others angrily landed.

And then they pulled out their secret weapon for this occasion—a gashapon machine!

This is said to be Team Rocket's latest invention.

You can extract powerful spirits from it.

The audience scoffed at this.

What powerful Pokémon can Team Rocket bring out?

The Pokémon they always bring out are basically low-level, oh wait, I mean, a little stronger than low-level.

However, what happened next shocked the audience!

Team Rocket pulled out a Gyarados and a Tyranitar from the gashapon machine!

One is a prodigy who leaps over the dragon gate, and the other is a late-blooming quasi-god!

The Rockets really went all out this time!

However, these two Pokémon were still no match for Champion Pikachu!

Before long, he was beaten and covered in wounds!

The dazzling battle left Xiaochun's eyes dazzled.

Watching it on TV and seeing it live are two completely different things.

Seeing Pikachu's powerful, cool, and cute appearance in person was instantly captivating!

"Is this... Ash's Pikachu??"

Pikachu that defies common sense, Pikachu that defeats the gods... Pikachu!

However, just as Pikachu was about to finish off Gyarados and Tyranitar...

Team Rocket devised a plan to send two Pokémon to attack the Bulbasaur!

The sheer number of Bulbasaur was impossible to avoid, so Pikachu sacrificed itself to block them!

They blocked the attacks from the water jets and sharp rocks!

Although he hasn't lost his ability to fight, he's already covered in wounds!

……

[Lance: Hmm...this is starting to look a bit like the villains! Does this mean Team Rocket is no longer just a comedic wingman on Ash's path to becoming one of the Eight Masters?]

[McClella: As Ash grows, Team Rocket grows too!]

[Little Kiku: What a pity! If it were a normal battle, Pikachu would have already taken them down two by itself!]

[Leon: Is this really a level 5 Pikachu?! It can withstand two powerful STAB moves like Rock Smash and Aqua Tail! I'm getting more and more excited for Ash's battle against my Eight Masters!]

Leon never doubted that Ash wouldn't be able to join the Eight Masters.

Ash was already surpassing some champions in the final stages of Alola!

Getting into the top eight is practically a sure thing.

As for whether he will clash with him... didn't you see any previews before?

The Lizard King's Thunder King Kong!

That would definitely be an absolutely spectacular match!

[Chiri: Now's not the time for this, is it? Ash seems to be in trouble!]

……

In the video—

Pikachu was severely injured, and Ash's Pokémon are all at Professor Oak's lab.

The Pokémon captured by Alola are kept by Professor Kukui.

There are simply no other Pokémon that can handle this!

Just as Team Rocket was about to deliver the final blow to Pikachu, the Bulbasaur launched an attack at this crucial moment!

Everyone was Bulbasaur, and they used Solar Beam!
